We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...
—This paper considers the problem of interactively finding the cutting contour to extract components from an existing mesh. First, we propose a constrained random walks algorith...
We consider the regression problem and describe an algorithm approximating the regression function by estimators piecewise constant on the elements of an adaptive partition. The pa...
Our paper has two main contributions. Firstly, it presents a model for image sequences motivated by an image encoding perspective. It models accreted regions, where objects appear...
We introduce a new graph-theoretic approach to image segmentation based on minimizing a novel class of `mean cut' cost functions. Minimizing these cost functions corresponds ...
